THE EXPANSION IS UPON US

As you may or may not know, big things are happening here in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Our humble little brewhouse is blowing up. We’re expanding capacity by 12 times and should be enjoying the fruits of our labors by February. To document this once -in-a-lifetime occurrence, we’ve tapped the unflappable Beer Friends. They come by every other week or so, take photos & videos and giddily ask questions of Bob the foreman. Below, check out what they’ve seen so far.

This expansion will substantially increase their brewing capability at their Brooklyn facility; it will more than triple the output of barrels per year.

The Beer Friends have been given an exciting opportunity to visit the brewery and watch the expansion from the start.
